Matter test 1
Question | Answer |
---|---|
This is the mount of matter or stuff something contains | Mass |
This is the amount of space an object takes up | volume |
This is the type of description that uses words and descriptions to give details for an object. Ex: small, tall, short, heavy | Qualitative data |
This type of description uses numbers to give details about an object | Quantitative data |
This type of object is easy to find the volume (using LxWxH) because it has the same length, the same height and the same width all around. For example, a cube or a rectangular prism | A regular object |
This type of object can not have its volume calculated by LxWxH because its dimensions vary from place to place | An Irregular object |
How do we take the volume of a regular object? | We use the Measurement Method. Measure the Length the Width and the Height of the object and MULTIPLY the three numbers. Always use cubic units. |
How do we find the volume of an irregular object? | You must use water displacement to see how much water is moved. This type of volume is measured in milliliters (mL) |
What is the formula for the volume of a regular object? | V = LxWxH |
This word refers to the amount of matter in an object per volume; in other words, how tightly packed the material is. | Density |
What is the formula for Density? | Density = mass divided by volume or D=m/v |
What UNIT do we usually use in my science class to measure mass | Grams (g) |
WhatUNITS do we typically use to measure volume in my science class? | Cubic centimeters (cm3) or Milliliters (mL) |
If I have the SAME AMOUNT of two materials with different densities, what do we know about the mass of the two materials? | The more dense material will have a larger mass, even though they are the same size. |
In order to be matter, you must have _____________ and ____________ | mass and volume |
When looking at a graduated cylinder we measure from the BOTTOM of this | the meniscus |
In the scientific method, this is the END where you state everything you have learned | Conclusion |
In the scientific method, this is where you explain what you want to find out/learn | Purpose/Problem |
In the scientific method, this is where you look very closely at the data and sometimes do mathematical work to understand your data better | Analysis |
In the scientific method, this is where you tell how you THINK the experiment will turn out | Hypothesis |
In the scientific method, this is where you do a step by step procedure and gather your data | the Experiment |
In the scientific method, this is where you find out what others have already learned about a certain topic. | the Research |
In the following statement, what is the inference part? Mrs. Woods must like orange because her entire desk has orange supplies on it. | Inference = Mrs. Woods must like orange |
In the following statement, what is the inference part? Johnny was jumping up and down in science class, so he must have gotten an A+ on the test. | Inference = he must have gotten an A+ on the test. |
In the following statement, what is the observation part? the sun is shining brightly this morning, so it is going to be warm today. | Observation = The sun is shining brightly this morning |
In the following statement, which is the observation? That goat only has one horn, it must have lost the other in a fight. | Observation = that goat only has one horn. |
